It’s the final countdown! A year from now if you plan to fly anywhere in the United
States and you still have an old ID like the one in your wallet now you will not be able to board your plane unless you have a passport.

After October 1, 2020, only the Enhanced or REAL ID will be accepted to get on a
domestic flight. Read that again. It doesn’t matter if you aren’t leaving the country, you will need to upgrade your current form of identification.

Annoying as it sounds, and as frustrating as it will be to even step foot in your local DMV office, I personally recommend if you plan to travel in 2020, upgrade before the new year. What’s going to end up happening is everyone is going to be rushing to the DMV over the summer months to make sure they upgrade. Long lines, hot attitudes
and then there is the waiting game. Be proactive, get it done NOW.
